Hm, what about virtual interfaces?

Do you think it's save to share a MESH node with
a STA, IBSS, AP interface on the same hardware?

On a side node: Can you tell me anything about
the crypto of mesh traffic? Because currently,
the code will disable any hardware crypto
offload for any mode other than STA and AP.
